Tour and "Contours" of Dévoluy

The association of the gîtes du Dévoluy proposes you to discover the classic circuit of the "Tour du Dévoluy" and new itineraries to satisfy all your hiking desires....

Lodgers and guides: each in his singularity and his original gîte will welcome you warmly, will prepare local products for the pleasure of your taste buds and will accompany you if necessary to the conquest of the summits of the Obiou, the Grand Ferrand... or simply for a night in a bivouac under the stars.

In complete freedom or organized for you, experienced hikers or contemplative mountain hikers, live an exceptional stay and succumb to the magic of the Dévoluy.

From May to October on the GR 93 and GR 94.
